Maryland Stadium is the historic and primary outdoor athletic venue located at 90 Stadium Drive on the campus of the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland, United States. Since its opening on September 30, 1950, it has served as the home for the Maryland Terrapins football and lacrosse teams.
Address: 90 Stadium Drive, College Park, Maryland 20742, United States.
Country: United States of America.
Opened: September 30, 1950.
Seating Capacity: Approximately 51,000.
Primary Uses: American football and field lacrosse. It has also hosted major international soccer matches.
Main Tenants: Maryland Terrapins football (NCAA Division I FBS, Big Ten Conference) and men’s lacrosse (NCAA Division I, Big Ten).
Historic Name: Originally opened as Byrd Stadium, in honor of Dr. H. C. “Curley” Byrd, a former university president, football coach, and athlete. It was renamed Maryland Stadium in 2015.
The stadium has been the centerpiece of Maryland football for over seven decades, witnessing the program’s evolution into a Big Ten competitor.
Record-Setting Atmosphere: The stadium’s all-time record attendance was set on November 15, 1975, when 58,973 fans packed the stands to watch the Terrapins defeat the Penn State Nittany Lions 13-0, a landmark victory in program history. This game exemplified the stadium’s potential as a major college football environment.
Conference History: For most of its history, the stadium was a bastion of ACC football. With Maryland’s move to the Big Ten Conference in 2014, it now hosts major conference foes like Penn State, Michigan, and Ohio State, renewing old rivalries and creating new ones.
Modern Upgrades: The stadium has undergone several renovations to enhance the fan experience, most notably the addition of the “Tower” and premium seating on the west side and a comprehensive modernization of the south end zone.
Beyond football, Maryland Stadium is hallowed ground for the sport of lacrosse.
A National Powerhouse’s Home: The stadium is the home field for the University of Maryland men’s lacrosse team, one of the most successful programs in NCAA history with multiple national championships. The large stadium setting for lacrosse games, especially against rivals like Johns Hopkins, is unique in the sport and creates an unparalleled atmosphere.
Soccer Showcases: The stadium’s size and location in the Washington D.C. metro area have made it an attractive venue for major international soccer friendlies and tournaments, including matches featuring the U.S. Men’s and Women’s National Teams.
As the largest venue on the University of Maryland campus, Maryland Stadium is a focal point for school spirit and major events. Its classic horseshoe design and recent renovations allow it to balance tradition with modern comfort, serving the Terrapins and their fans as they build new traditions in the Big Ten era.

With the growing popularity of nighttime sports events, professional competitions demand higher lighting quality. The glare from traditional fixtures can no longer meet athletes’ expectations for sensory experience. Leveraging breakthroughs in MECREE’s sports lighting technology, our precise light control and anti-glare designs enable athletes to perform at their peak and enjoy an exceptional sports experience.
Issues caused by unnecessary nighttime lighting, such as light pollution and light trespass, are increasingly concerning and have led to rising public complaints. Amid growing environmental awareness, lighting designers must prioritize controlling “Light Pollution” and “Light Trespass.” We are committed to addressing this challenge through innovative optical technologies.
Currently common traditional stadium lights model for some international stadiums as below:
MVF406/1800W, HNF003, MVF401, MVF403, MVF024, EF-2000, YOA56305, YOAX56400, 2kW: HQI-TS 2000WDS, 2kW: HQI-TS 1000WDS, MHN-SA 2KW 400V/956, MHN-SB/HO 2KW 400V/956, LPW2000M/D, LPW1000MB/L, LPP2000MHN-SA, LPP2000MHN-SB.
There is big problem that traditional lamps can not cannot meet the needs of 4K and 8K high-definition broadcast and huge energy consumption.
With the strengthening of environmental lighting awareness and the pursuit of high-quality lighting, there is a trend to replace traditional lamps by high quality of LED Stadium Lights.
MECREE has launched the following series of LED Sport Stadium Lighting:
MECREE’s specially engineered precision lighting control is designed to meet the needs of such users. The polarized light range of 65-73° is defined as the P73-L and A65 series products, which deliver an unparalleled visual experience while offering access to thousands of IES profiles.
Our precisely engineered optics of polarized light aim light directly onto the field of play, to shine uniformly and to minimize glare. Outdoor venues benefit from spill light control, no more skyglow and no more complaints from the neighbors.
1. Such light shield is useless,just misleading customers.
2. As tested it will cause 30% reduction of light output
3. While 70% still have high overflow
4. Unbearable strong glare
5. Waste energy,outdated reflective technology
The power supply and lamp body can be mounted separately, reducing the withstand weight of the lamp pole and facilitating maintenance.
Customized crossarms are available to meet all your existing old poles without replacing the main rod, crossarms bolt directly to light pole, easy and accurate installation saves time, ensures performance, safety and reliability,also lower the budget.
In current sports lighting projects, high-altitude light calibration is recognized as a major efficiency bottleneck. The process carries high safety risks, is prone to aiming deviations, and involves cumbersome installation and removal procedures, making it difficult to achieve the required uniformity.
MECREE’s innovative laser aiming mount was designed precisely to address these issues. It revolutionizes the workflow through three key advantages:
Easy Installation: With a simple design, it allows rapid mounting and dismounting, significantly lowering the operational threshold.
Precise Aiming: Ensures accurate laser alignment, fundamentally guaranteeing uniform illumination and compliance with lighting standards.
Efficient Operation: Reduces labor and time costs by up to 80%. Calibrating 200 fixtures at height previously took 20 days; now the same workload can be completed in just 4 days.
Choosing MECREE means choosing a safer, more precise, and highly efficient sports lighting solution.
